I am able to pin most of my programs to the taskbar but for some reason I can't pin Libreoffice or itunes to it. I even made shortcuts for them to see if that would work but dragging won't work and right clicking doesn't give the option. How do I fix this? (less concerned about iTunes, I don't like iTunes much, it sucks when it comes to telling it to get music from a folder on your computer).

 

Note: these programs that I can't pin are installed to a 60gb SD card (I use it as another hard drive in my laptop)

when you right click is there a "pin to taskbar" in the menu when you click on the program you want to pin?

To resolve the missing "pin to taskbar" entry, the IsShortcut registry value and the file associations for shortcuts has to be fixed.


  • Run Registry Editor (regedit.exe).
  • Navigate to the following registry key:
  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile
  • Right click on the right pane, and select New -> String Value (REG_SZ) to create a new registry value.
  • Name the new registry value as IsShortcut . No value data required.
  • Restart the computer.

Sorry for the late reply. There is no inkfile in my registry. http://gyazo.com/0b65ecc55d699ad3c5c6f8641920e057

That didn't seem to work. Nothing changed.
